Social media sharing buttons for Bluesky?

Hi, could you let us know when you intend to add a social sharing button for Bluesky to the long list currently available please?

Hey there,
We are working on adding Bluesky to the social sharing icons! We do not have a specific release timeline to share yet.
Hope this helps!

Just adding a +1 for this please – Maybe a little help/nudge to push up the backlog! Thanks

The Jetpack team, responsible for the social sharing buttons, will include this feature in the next update of the Jetpack plugin. Once the update is released, we’ll implement it on WordPress.com. Please keep an eye out for this update, as it will appear in your social sharing options in the next few weeks.
Thank you!

Should the Bluesky icon have appeared in the Social Icons block because I’m not seeing it for my theme?
-
@petercripps You need to choose the “Sharing Buttons” block, not the “Social Icons” one. The Sharing Buttons is where the Bluesky icon will be available.
. I hope that clarifies things!

Okay, but this is for users to share a post to their social media isn’t it? I’m looking for where I can put a link to my accounts.

Hello there @petercripps !
That is correct, yes, the Sharing Buttons Block is for the readers/viewers on your site to share the post to their social media.
The Social Icons Block is for linking to your own social media profiles for those platforms. On the Social Icons Block there is not yet a ‘Bluesky’ link/icon, however, you can use the ‘Link’ icon and add a link to your profile.If you have access to a developer that can help you to use CSS code to reference, then customise that icon to update it to use a Bluesky profile icon image, then you can do that as an additional alternative, as well. For this option, you would use a combination of the Link label and the ‘Additional CSS Classes’ field in the Block settings, then target this in CSS code, to style it.
I hope this has been helpful, but feel free to reach out if you have any further questions!
